    “Wanting to define the terms of the conflict” is not the same thing as “pinning hopes.”

    I have no illusions that getting a Democratic majority in Congress will solve all of our problems. I know for a fact that a Republican majority will continue to make things worse at an ever-increasing pace until the situation becomes completely untenable. At least with Democrats, there’s a conversation to be had.

      is there?

      the democrats refused to talk about gaza during the election and their post-mortem study won’t even mention it; yet multiple polls confirm that that was the biggest reason why they lost the last election.
